NEW YORK FASHIONS.
Dress Materials and Styles That VIII BE
Popular the Coming Season.
Handsome Roman-striped satins are
much employed for trimming killed
and box-plaited skirts of fatsse fran
oaise. and also for garnitures on cos
tunes of fine cloth or vigogne. Velvet
Is also combined with these stripes
(Which for the skirt very frequently
run horizontally, and among elegant
dinner gowns are Bengsline and velvet
striped petticoats, with Russian pol
snaise above, made of the richest satin
duchesse in one plain color Of suede,
golden fawn. nut-brown, silver or En-
glish violet-which last-named color is
= trifle deeper than the o1d-fsshioned
bishops purple. This stylish overdress
is made very long. with full drapings
at the sides, and a very graceful ad-
justment over the tournure. the chosen
shade of the lustrous satin invariably
according in tint with one of the colors
in the Roman-striped petticoat
Among the new skirt draperies are
two directly opposing styles, the bell
skirt and the inverted bell skirt. the
one designed for ladies inclined to
stoutness. which shows the back of the
skirt draped with an effect of extreme
fulness at the bottom and a decided
collapse as it nears the back of the
hips and waist The extreme of this
style is for slender women, the fulness
coming just below the waist. Upon
some of the models these folds are I'M
duly distended at the sides and over
the tournure. The effect, when ar
ranged in moderation, is excellent
Beyond this. it is not only inartistic,
but often absolutely grotesque, espe-
cially when the fabric is light or white,
these tints naturally adding to the ap-
pearance of great size. They destroy
all natural symmetry, and often impsrt
to a really graceful figure an exceed
ingly ludicrous and ''squatty" appear
ance.
There will be no decline in the popu-
larity of lace gowns for dressy wear
the coming season. Exquisitely beau
tiful designs in laces, both black. white
and tinted, are opened on the market,
and the fabrics are entirely too lovely
in pattern and quality to be sighted.
Indeed, there are no materials ON ex-
hibition in the entire category of dress
textiles which can compare in beauty
with the new laces and nets for art
istic, rare and becoming gowns.
Amber, daffodil primrose yellow,
heliotrope, Japanese red, silver gray,
rose pink. mauve, ivory and cream
white, and pinkish mauve, in surah or
satin, will all be used for underslips to
black lace dresses, but first choice is
still given, by many women of best
taste in dress, to slips of black satin.
In making this the found alton, the
dress can then be worn with many
different flowers and ribbons, matter
quite impossible if the slip is of brill
liant red or any other gay color. A
lace dress entirely in black can also be
worn upon more occasions than one
which has a bright color beneath the
airy drapings.
Models for summer bonnets sent over
from Paris, are made of silk etamine,
Persian gauze in exquisitely lovely
tints, and zephyr silk muslin embossed
with raised velvet figures. The brim
of the bonnet is covered with dark
velvet in black, golden-brown, terra
Gotta, or Japanese red, and the garni-
lures are light aigrettes and Grape
flowers. Pretty day bonnets to be
worn at five o'clock teas, ETC., are of
fancy rough straw trimmed with velvet
and high montures of French flowers,
and also of dainty nets worked with
colored beads in shaded effects, and
coquettish shirred silk bonnets trimmed
with gold or silver-powdered aigrettes
and sprays of white lilac in softest
velvet. Huge butterflies, both of
bronze and gold-powdered gauzes, are
again used upon summer bonnets by
leading milliners. Straw round hats
in dove color and mushroom shades
are trimmed with golden-brown picot
velvet, ribbon loops mixed with golden
brown tulle, into which are set large
plaques of scarlet Japan poppies.-N.
